Even before she was born, doctors already detected something unusual in the tiny heart of baby Medina Hanania binti Mohd Hamizi. Her heartbeat was weak — not like her twin’s. When she finally came into the world, Medina had to rely on a breathing machine; her body was pale, bluish, and frail.

At such a young age, Medina was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) — a serious congenital heart disease. Since then, her life has never been the same. She gets tired easily, can’t play actively, and even feeding often leaves her breathless and crying in exhaustion.

In 2016, Medina underwent surgery to close a hole in her heart. The operation was successful, but her suffering did not end there. She now faces critical heart complications — the blood vessel connecting the left side of her heart to her lungs is narrowing, and her heart valve is leaking.

Because of this, Medina can’t live like other kids her age. Carrying her school bag feels too heavy. She can only watch her friends play during sports activities, wishing she could join them.

What breaks the heart even more is that her family cannot afford the medical costs. Her father runs a small grocery business, while her mother had to stop working to care for their children. In their family of six, Medina is not the only special child — her younger brother, Havraz, is also a special needs child studying in a special education program.

Medina is only 12 years old. Her only dream is to live like other children — healthy, running, laughing, and going to school without pain. But all that can only happen if she receives this life-saving surgery.

Let’s come together to ease this family’s burden and give Medina a second chance at life. Every contribution is a heartbeat of hope for her tiny heart to keep beating.
